EXECUTIVE PROGRAM MANAGERS COURSE (EPMC) (PMT 303) DEFENSE SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT COLLEGE, FORT BELVOIR, VIRGINIA, APRIL 20 -- MAY 15, 1998 Openings are now available for Industry Program/Project Manager attendance to the 4-week EPMC at the Defense Systems Management College, tuition free for eligible candidates. This notice is for potential students currently employed in the defense or aerospace business. The Executive Program Managers Course (EPMC) is specifically designed to meet the learning and performance needs of newly selected Program Executive Officers (PEO), Deputy PEOs and Acquisition Category (ACAT) I&II Program Managers/Deputy Program Managers. Building on the general program management competencies acquired during the previously attended Program Management Course (PMC) or Advanced Program Management Course (APMC), and subsequent on-the-job experience, EPMC provides the selected participants an opportunity to enhance their skills through a concentrated four week period preceded by approximately 60 days of advance, part-time work wherein they assess: (a) the status of their assigned programs and program office; (b) personal strengths and weaknesses in relation to problems, issues and concerns of their programs; and (c) impacts which may result from recent policy changes in system acquisition. All Department of Defense PEO's, Deputy PEOs, ACAT I&II PM's and Deputy PMs are required to attend this course prior to assuming a new assignment to one of these positions. Industry managers have this unique opportunity to sit in the classroom with their government peers and relate industry views as well as learn "how the government does it". Interested candidates please contact Ms. Ruth Franklin/CODSIA registrar at (202) 371-8414 or the Industry Chair at the College, Mr. George Krikorian at (703) 805-2828.
